We're rapidly approaching the end of the year — how time has flown! I hope everyone's looking forward to their Christmas/December holidays and everyone gets some time off this year to enjoy themselves and take a break before we welcome in the new year of 2019.

Tester Applications: Tester applications will be open soon. If you're interested in applying for our staff team, keep an eye out!

Christmas Mapping: If you're interested in having some Christmas mapping on your house, business or apartment complex, then please read this thread and contact Baker with your request(s). Please make sure it's tasteful and isn't too intrusive to others role-playing in the area, dependent on where the property is located. The cut-off point for requesting any Christmas mapping this year is December 11th.

Upcoming Revision: There has been another recent update in Davis' Dev Blog found here regarding the upcoming revision. The revision is complete and in the review stage now, so it should be implemented soon. Read the development blog to find out about what's being introduced if you haven't already — there are some interesting and exciting additions, such as the company system. I'm looking forward to seeing that in action.

Verified Discussions: I'll take the opportunity to mention Verified Discussions once again, which is this forum section. You can read about how to get involved here. We'll be trying to funnel more discussions into this section when there's an opportunity to get the community involved but, for the day-to-day, experienced and mature community members are welcomed to get involved and generate their own discussions.

Contact: My inbox is always open for queries and comments. If you want to strike up a conversation with me about something that concerns you, or want to flag my attention to a discussion that could use input or management's opinion, feel free to reach out to me and let me know. I try to respond to every message that I receive despite the amount that I get on a day-to-day basis. Forum PM is always the best way to get in touch with me and guarantee that I see your message. Please don't rely on IRC or Discord as a means of getting in touch with me.
